must have the rear bench seat with four
seats installed only by a qualified special-
ist workshop, e.g., an authorized Sprinter
Dealer.Keep the seat bench mounting cups in the
vehicle floor free from dirt and foreign ob-
jects. This is the only way to guarantee
that the locking mechanisms will engage
securely.
